Well is it possible to have the best of both worlds, spend half on hops and buy some good brew to tide you over while the homebrew is processing. I don't home brew so I have no reference on the hop selection and the online brew depends on what you can't get locally and style preference. Good luck and I would cut the bait then go fishing!

Go for the hops. The beer isn't going anywhere. Maybe you can make a run to Chicago? [:D]

The winner: cut bait When I get paid we'll see how many lbs of hops I can order then.

POUNDS? Damn, drewseslu, how much beer are you gonna brew?
